Most people tend to take the route of least resistance, which is bad. But this is not a thing that can be solved(or even should be solved), as every change will just cause an uproar of those who feel disadvantaged, creating a pointless circle of changes and uproars.
... this is a seriously flawed perspective. Why bother balancing jobs period then? Who cares if Monk gets buffed come 5.1. After all, the only thing that matters is the weakest job can still clear. It doesn't matter that by switching from Red Mage to Black Mage, you make it far easier on your healers because you're more likely to skip mechanics. And it doesn't matter that even if you're one of the best Red Mages in the game, a slightly above Black Mage still does better than you.

Blaming it on the community is silly, especially when it's actually more beneficial to take two Black Mages than any of the Range.
